The new International Consumer Survey, conducted by SurveyLab exclusively for PLMA, will focus on the post-pandemic grocery shopping behavior.
The importance and growing popularity of private label is at the forefront at PLMA’s 2022 “World of Private Label” International Trade show, which will take place on 31 May and 1 June at the RAI Exhibition Centre in Amsterdam. The seminar program is open to all registered visitors and exhibitors. PLMA will reveal the results of a recent con- sumer survey conducted exclusively for PLMA by SurveyLab. 6450 consumers from 8 countries, including the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Poland, Sweden, and The Netherlands, were asked about their buying behavior before and after the pandemic. The outcome provides insight into shopping activities and attitudes towards brands and products, which may contribute to a new understanding for manufacturers and retailers alike as they focus on private label strategic development.
Tom Penninckx, Client Business Partner at NielsenIQ, will give an overview of the latest country by country market share data and trends of the past year. A presentation on “The State of Grocery in Europe: Navigating the Market Headwinds,” with new insights and perspectives that will likely shape European grocery retail in 2022 and beyond, will be given by Francois Videlaine and Sebastian Gatzer, Partners at McKinsey & Company.
On Monday 30 May at the Forum Centre of the RAI Exhibition Centre, PLMA’s 2022 International Salute to Excellence Awards will be revealed. The awards honor retailers for excellence in products and packaging, introduced in private label wine, food, and non-food products and packaging within the past year. Nearly 2500 exhibitors from 70 countries will display their latest and innovative private label products on the show floor. More than 40% of exhibitors offer products with a sustainable claim, whether in packaging material, ingredients, or sourcing. In addition, more than 30% of exhibitors offer private label products with a free-from claim and/or special dietary needs and lifestyles, e.g., gluten-free and lactose-free, kosher, halal, no sugar, vegetarian and vegan. The show is fully set to reflect this year’s theme, “Grow. Connect. Source.”
A special attraction within the show is PLMA’s Idea Supermarket, where visitors and exhibitors can see the product ranges of more than 60 retailers from around the world and the winning products of PLMA’s 2022 International Salute Excellence Awards.
